With that, William practiced for the whole night. The following day, Gwendolyn told the servants to prepare breakfast. William had a huge appetite and finished a meal that could feed about five people.
After breakfast, he drove Mia to school. On the way to school, he asked. Mia if Janet was still bullying her. However, her answer surprised him. She told him that Janet was following her and even told the whole class that she was Mia’s sidekick. Those who hated Mia would be Janet’s enemies.
After hearing what Mia said, William nodded, knowing that Janet’s parents must have told Janet to do so.
As they arrived at the school, Mia got out of the car. Just then, a man approached them. It was Janet’s father, Samuel.
For the past few days, Samuel had been waiting by the school gate, hoping to see William. Now that Samuel finally saw him, he rushed over and smiled. “Good morning, Mr. Barrett.”
William glanced at him before turning to Mia. “Go on. Have fun studying.”
The girl hummed in response and skipped into the school gate.
After she had left, William turned around and looked at Samuel. “What do you want?”
“I want to apologize to you again, Mr. Barrett. It’s my fault, and I’m sorry!” Samuel smiled at him apologetically.
“Have they investigated the deputy director?” William looked at him coldly.
“He has been suspended from his duties,” Samuel replied awkwardly.
“He needs to be punished since he has done wrong, right?” asked William.

“Yes, of course.” Samuel nodded his head vigorously. He truly regretted his decision and wondered why he provoked William in the first place.
“I know you are a constructor. I want to build a villa, and I need you to provide me with the supplies.”
As soon as Samuel heard that, his eyes lit up. “Don’t worry, Mr. Barrett. You can count on me!”
“If I want to build a villa, which company should I look for?” asked William. He had no clue about building houses.
“Just leave it to me, Mr. Barrett. I’ll prepare everything you need, including the drafts, construction team, and materials!” Samuel responded.
“Really?” William smiled. “I’ll leave it to you, then. Come, I’ll bring you to see the place.”
With that, Samuel got into William’s car and went to the old manor. When he knew that William was planning to demolish the house and build a villa, he immediately gave William some suggestions. After all, he was used to this. “This place is about a thousand square meters, I suggest you build a three–story villa with a yard in the front. You also need to leave. some space behind.”
After Samuel had expressed his opinion, William nodded and said, “Go. and get someone to draw it out, and I will check it. Also, please do not touch this spruce tree.”
“We can build an automatic fence to surround the spruce tree.” Samuel smiled and looked at the tree.
When William asked about the cost, he replied, “For the building cost, you can use the best materials, as it doesn’t exceed 700 Talons for each square meter. As for furnishing, there is no limit to it. You can have it with a budget of 150 Talons or 15 thousand Talons.”
William thought for a moment and said, “I want the best furnishing.”

“I had furnished many villas for my friends. If we priced it at 1500 Talons, the total would be 2000 Talons. The building area is about 180 Talons, so the total price is about 260 million.”
After hearing his words, William thought that it was too expensive. After all, he only had 290 million to spend. Thinking about it, he asked, “With such expensive furnishing, what material will you be using?”
“It depends on your preferences and style. For example, some people use mahogany, ebony, and even jadeite,” replied Samuel.
“Forget it. We’ll discuss the furnishing after the house is built.” William waved him off.
Then, Samuel looked around and gave many ideas, which William thought were brilliant. “If you do this perfectly, I will treat you well,” he said.
“Thank you for giving me a chance, Mr. Barrett. I will do my best!” Samuel said happily.
He was keen to start work. After accepting the demolition project, he told William that he would start working by tomorrow. Since William didn’t have the spare time to look over it, he gave Samuel full responsibility for building the house. After Samuel left, he returned to the manor and met Melisenna. When he inquired where she was going, she told him she was heading out to buy fish for their meals. In that split second, William said, “You don’t have to buy it, Mom. I can catch some for you.”
“Nonsense!” She shot him a look and continued, “Where are you going to catch the fish?”
“Don’t worry about it. I’ll be back soon.” He smiled. Then, he took a fishing. rod and a bucket to catch some fish.
Since Gwendolyn was curious, she followed him.
The Zuch Family’s house was called ‘Eastlake No. 3.‘ They lived in an area called East Lake and there was a lake called Little East. A park was built

beside the lake, so it was quite lively. Many elderlies like to exercise there. Since it was 8.00AM, many people were still strolling by the lake. Little East was filled with lotus, and fishes were swimming underneath it. After taking a glance, William asked Gwendolyn, “What type of fish do you want to eat, Gwen?”
“Do they have largemouth bass here?” asked Gwendolyn.
William smiled and stood by the lakeside. Seeing no one was around, he cast the fishing rod into the lake, and largemouth bass was caught instantly. He reeled it in and put the fish in the bucket. It was huge, seemingly to have three kilograms.
“That’s so cool, William! Do it again!” Gwendolyn looked at him with admiration.
Immediately, he caught another five fish, and all of them weighed over two kilograms. “Come on. Let’s go home and cook some fish,” William said with satisfaction.
When they entered the front gate, they saw a car. “It’s Dad!” Gwendolyn exclaimed in delight.
Cooper had just arrived and was talking to Walter. When he saw William, he said, “Thank you for your hard work, William. My father has been getting better.”
William nodded and said, “It’s fine, Mr. Zuch. Old Mr. Zuch’s recovery is almost done. He will be fully recuperated after taking the medicine for a few more days.”
“That’s great!” Cooper nodded. Although he looked happy, his eyes were filled with a tint of sorrow.
“Is something bothering you, Mr. Zuch?” asked William. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
“It’s nothing. I just got transferred to another post at my job. It’s normal.” Cooper smiled faintly.

However, Walter immediately cut in when he heard Cooper’s words. “There is nothing normal about it. You are being abandoned!” Then, he looked at William and explained, “Cooper doesn’t have any groundwork, so he is being transferred to work at a department, but it’s an armchair job. To put it bluntly, he doesn’t have a chance to become an officer anymore. It’s fine, though. Being an officer is exhausting, and it doesn’t pay well. It’s better if he quits his job and helps me with the company.”
“I still hope I can do something significant, Dad. I don’t care if it’s tiring, nor does it not pay well. After all, we are rich,” Cooper said, not showing much emotion.
“You” Walter shook his head in frustration. “If you had listened to me and built up relationships with others, you wouldn’t have come to this point.”
Hearing their conversation, Gwendolyn explained to William, “Dad insists. that he wants to become an officer on his own. However, it looks like he has made the wrong decision.”
After hearing her words, William admired Cooper’s ambition. Then, het thought momentarily before saying, “Mr. Zuch, why don’t we head toward Kreim when you have the spare time?”
“Kreim? Why are we going there?” Cooper was confused.
“I used to treat Old Mr. Cromwell, and it is time to do a follow–up on his condition,” replied William.
At that moment, Cooper knew what he meant and was shocked. Joseph and Brandon from the Cromwell Family were both people with high authority in Kreim. If Cooper could get in touch with them, there would still be hope for his future!
